The ongoing divorce proceedings between Victoria Luckwell, 37, and Frankie Limata, 45, took a bitter turn after Mr Limata – who signed a prenuptial agreement – demanded a £2.2million share of the £6.6m marital home in exclusive Connaught Square, London.

The home was a gift to Miss Luckwell from tycoon father, Mike, one of the richest people in the media.

Mr Limata claimed he had been left living “like a tramp out of bin bags”.

His father-in-law, he claimed, acted from “spite and malice” by promising to cut off his daughter.

Yesterday, Mr Justice Holman told Miss Luckwell to hand over £1,240,000 of her £6.8million fortune to Open University student Mr Limata, in what he said was “an exceptionally difficult decision”.

The money will ensure Mr Limata can have a house where he can see the couple’s three young children.

Miss Luckwell met her future husband when she worked at production firm The Moving Picture Company, owned by her father.

Miss Luckwell said after leaving court: “Sadly I am left to conclude there is a strong financial disincentive for a wealthy woman to marry if she cannot be assured of protecting her family’s assets. Simply put, this is a gold-digger’s charter.”

Mr Limata’s solicitor, Miranda Fisher, said later: “Mr Limata has never sought a share of his wife’s wealth; he sought and was given sufficient funds to meet his real needs.”
